I quite like the mirror image of this too, all laws that are actually passed have a built-in expiry date of 25-30 years at the maximum so each generation is forced to re-debate them and see if they're still relevant.

I am not so sure, that is a good idea, especially with the filibuster in the Senate.

For example, I don’t know if the Civil Rights Act would be renewed in this political environment.

Same with the Endangered Species act and various other environmental legislation.
